We arrived at the house around noon. It was probably the most beautiful house I'd ever seen in my life. Ever. It was stunning! It had dark red bricks with a black roof and trees planted here and there. It had white rose bushes along the walls and it was two story. It had seven rooms. One for Kevin, one for Avi, one for Scott, one for Mitch, one for Kirstin, one for me, and one guess bedroom. It had four bathrooms. The bathrooms were connecting the bedrooms. Avi and Kevin's shared, Scott and Mitch shared, Me and Kirstin  shared, and then the guess had their own. They told me about where everything is in the house and all and asked if I had ever heard of them before. "Duh!" I said. "Y'all are amazing! But I haven't heard most of the music cause my phone was tooken away after y'all won the Sing Off in 2011. Literally the next day." I say laughing a little." I got it back a couple years later but because it had been so long I forgot to watch the rest of the videos that had bee made over time." I explained. They all nodded in responce. We were all sitting down in a circle playing truth or dare so we could get to know each other a little better. "Oh! You wouldn't answer earlier cause you didn't want to hurt any of us!" Kevin says after a minute of thinking what dare to give me. I shoot him a death glare to warn him. "Who's your favorite?" he asks ignoring the glare. I shoot him a harsher one and he just smiles. I roll my eyes at him. "I told you I'm not telling." I said crossing my arms over my chest. "Come on Skylar!" Scott adds. I shoot him a death glare and he smiles it off too.  Why the hell do these people just smile when I give them death glares?! Ugh!! "Oh um..... look at the time! Time to go to bed bye!" I say in a rush before running upstairs to avoid the question. I do have a crush on him..... and it's pretty obvious (AVIous!!) and if I say that Scott's my favorite one of them are sure to figure it out. I don't want that happening! I'm thirteen! I'm too young to have a broken heart. And I'm positive I don't want my first feeling of heartbroken from Scott. Espesially since I live with him now. Grrrr. Why things gotta be complicated?! "Cloud? Can I come in?" It was Mitch. I sit on my bed staring at the door for a while before answering. "Sure?" I say more as a question. "Hey! What was going on down there? It's 4PM. So that wasn't going to work anyways. What's going on?" he asks sitting down on my bed with me. "N-nothing." I stutter. Damn I'm a bad liar. "You're lying." Knew it. "I'm still not telling you who but....." I trail off. "I have a crush on my favorite person. It's sorta obvious (AVIous) and if I say it..... y'all are for sure going to figure it out." I tell him. Why am I telling him this? Scott's his best friend! "I uh," I scoot back a little. "Why won't you tell us though?" he asks unsure of why I wouldn't tell them anyways. "Because I..... I refuse to let myself love. The tears the heartbreaks..... I just can't! I loved once and it was all way too much. I can't handle it. I tried cutting I was so hurt but my friend stopped me just in time. Who hurts so badly they try to kill themselves? How badly are they hurting?" I have tears in my eyes now as I remember. "And..... I guess I'm afraid of being hurt again." I say now crying. He hugs me and I know he's crying too. "Can you please tell me? I promise I won't tell him." I trust Mitch. I trust him a lot. If he promises he won't tell I know he won't tell. "It's..... Scott." I say shyly. He hugs me again. "Sweetie. He'd never hurt you. Not intentionally. Never!" he tells me. "I know but I'm afraid if I tell him, my heart will just automatically shatter. Because I was broken once and now I still don't trust people with my heart." I say tearing up again. "Here come down stairs and I'll tell them to not ask. OK?" he says in a comforting voice. I nod 'yes' and follow him downstairs. "Hey. Mi- What's wrong Skylar?"Scott asks as he sees me and Mitch. Mitch looks at me and answers for me. "Nothing. Just..... nothing Scott." he says sitting down. Mitch pulls out his phone. "You promised." I whisper in his ear as I see him go to Scott's contact to text him. He sighs and puts up his phone. "OK" he says back in responce understanding I certainly don't want anyone knowing. Please let Mitch be able to keep this from Scott.....
